The Newtonian Mechanics is one of the first teachings that an undergraduate student meets in a scientific bachelor. It is therefore important to approach it deeply and thoroughly, but also to learn how to recognise it in all its manifestations, in the world around us.
For this reason, all treated topics come with several examples, taken from daily experience, or from astronomy or particle physics. A wide discussion is devoted to the apparent forces, to the dynamics of rigid bodies, and to the universal gravitation – one of the most fascinating achievements of such a discipline.
An introduction to Special Relativity completes this book.
Some chapters in the book are aimed at introducing to specific mathematical tools.
The book is complemented by about 200 figures.
